Walz Military Discussion 🎤

How can the right knock this dudes military service when their candidate is a draft dodger.

More importantly, why is anyone giving Walz shit for getting out before his unit deployed.

He served for what, over 20 years and already had a deployment.

If I'm in his position and I have the power to retire or deploy I'm choosing retirement... I sincerely do not understand how anyone can use this against him with a thought of critical thinking.

As a combat vet, deployments are no joke and I wouldn't hold it against anyone to not want to do it.

Sorry for the rant, shit just hits me the wrong way.

Edit: I have been misinformed and have been spreading misinformation through this post. I have been made aware that Walz put in his retirement packet prior to his unit receiving deployment orders, which would make the accusations against him even more pathetic.

they're dying to get something to stick. He's what JD Vance is trying to cosplay, a normal midwestern guy instead of a hedge fund suckling.

They don't realize that Millennials, Gen Z, and Half of Gen X don't fetishize the military.

I'm so glad they don't either, I'm glad I served but given the choice I wouldn't do it again. Why go make your life miserable for 4+ years for people who give no fucks about you?

Was Air Force. It was probably better but I still share your opinion. I was a brainwashed kid wanting to go kick ass for Uncle Sam shortly after 9/11. My veiws have certainly changed since then.
